I’ve driven to the ‘the system’ for the last 20 years or so.
Approaching a bend, set your speed then select the appropriate gear. No issues at all.

However, more and more cars now are tiptronic, flappy paddle autos. When driving a manual the system makes total sense, but with tiptronics you can’t do a 5th to 3rd change for example. You have to 5,4,3. As such, with regards to the system and tiptronics, bearing in mind you don’t have a clutch to worry about, is brake gear overlap acceptable, as it seems to make sense?
